Chapter 179 Rose Guidance
On the day of the Spring Song Festival, the rituals and music were performed outside the National Color Pavilion in Kaitang County. People had already gathered around to watch, waiting for the performance.
There are music studios, theater troupes, tiles, and folk singers taking the stage one after another. The bells are melodious, the harps are melodious, and the voices of actresses and singers move Liang Chen.
Lou Lan'er and Lu Da set up a stall next to the singing platform, selling fruit cakes and drinks.
The fruit cakes sold today are mainly made from April green plums, including rose plums, pickled plum preserves, perilla plum cakes, and carved plum balls. The main drinks are green plum green tea and snow pear and white fungus soup.
Accompanied by Mu Zhiyuan, Mao Xi mingled in the audience and enjoyed the singer's performance.
Mu Zhiyuan completed the investigation last night and returned to Lihua Town, confirming that the Lin Mansion had the Cao Gang as its backer.
He looked around cautiously in the audience, fearing that Shui Xi would be kidnapped by Mr. Lin again.
Ever since Mr. Lin was knocked into the water by Lu Da in Peach Garden, he has been a little afraid of Lu Da. When he saw him setting up a stall there, he started looking for other women in the crowd and on the stage.
Xiao Huangying was the first to take the stage and sang "Peach Blossom Rain", which broke the hearts of everyone.
Wan Niang and Zhe Mei performed a fresh fisherman's song, which was adapted from a folk song. Some of the audience were able to sing along and became the only performer of the day. The limelight once overshadowed that of Xiao Huangying and the singers from the band.
After Wan Niang and Zhe Mei finished their performance, they hurried away in the car and rushed back to Lihua Town.
Finally, the Oiran Peony appears, the top star of the national color booth, and the pomp is grand.
There is a soundtrack of drums and flutes, accompanied by dancers, and the lyrics she sings are "Yulin Ling" specially inscribed for her by Liu Ci, which is graceful and beautiful.
After Peony Girl's performance ended, the crowd gradually dispersed. Shui Xi went to the stall to help Lou Lan'er close the stall.
The leader of the troupe where Little Huang Ying was was came to the stall and asked anxiously: "Can you see Little Huang Ying?"
Lou Lan'er remembered that after Little Oriole's performance, she went to the stall to buy some plum cakes and rose plums.
"Operator, Xiao Huangying bought some fruit cakes. I think she will go back to the troupe to rest."
The troupe leader patted his thigh and said worriedly: "Oh, our little yellow warbler is missing. I saw some plum cakes on the ground, and I thought she came to your stall to buy cakes."
Seeing that the old troupe leader was at a loss, Ma Xi hurriedly comforted him: "Old troupe leader, can you take us to the troupe's resting area, maybe we can find clues to the disappearance of little Huang Ying."
Mao Xi asked Lou Lan'er and Lu Da to go back to the fruit cake shop first, while she and Mu Zhiyuan went to the theater troupe with the old leader.
In the camp, Xiao Huangying's lounge is not big. It is a simple dressing table and a place for changing costumes.
Mao Xi saw some trampled plum cakes scattered under the dressing table, and several costumes scattered on the ground.
The tables and chairs left sliding traces on the ground. Xiao Huangying struggled and resisted, but not voluntarily.
Mu Zhiyuan picked up the costume and found two rose plums covered underneath.
Mao Xi picked up the rose plum. The plum was wrapped in a rose. If she didn't look carefully, she thought it was a fallen flower, which was not easy to attract attention.
This rose plum was made in her shop, and Xiao Huangying must have bought it at the stall today.
The two came to the outside of the tent and walked around, and saw a rose plum in the northwest corner.
Fifty meters along the northwest direction, I saw two more rose plums scattered on the ground.
Mao Xi guessed that Xiao Huangying must have been in desperation and used Mei Mei as a guide, hoping to be rescued.
"Brother Mu, the little yellow warbler is using rose plums to show us the way."
Rose Mei led the two of them to Lin Mansion.
"Ah Shu, you go back to the shop first. It seems that the Lin Mansion is in front of you. I think it was Lin Wencai who did it again."
Mu Zhiyuan asked Mao Xi to go back to the shop first, but the rose plum broke near the back door of the Lin Mansion. It was indeed Lin Mansion's fault.
The song of Little Oriole came from Lin Mansion, and the words she sang were very resentful.
Mu Zhiyuan analyzed that Xiao Huangying must have been robbed and brought to the house, and the singing was her cry for help.
He climbed over the wall and followed the singing to Lin Wencai's study.
Little Huangying's singing stopped, and she pretended to be flattering and said: "Mr. Lin, I have finished singing the song you want to hear. Can you please let me go back to the troupe? My sister still needs to be taken care of."
Mr. Lin smiled evilly and said: "If you just want to listen to music, why should I kidnap you? Why don't you become my concubine and sing to me every day from now on? Your sister will come to the house with you. I won't treat you badly." of."
Then, the sound of an inkstone and flower pot breaking was heard in the study.
Mu Zhiyuan rushed into the study, and within two moves, he knocked Lin Wencai to the ground and rescued Xiao Huangying.
Lin Wencai rubbed his sore buttocks, came outside the house, pointed at Mu Zhiyuan and cursed: "I know you, you ruined my good deeds last time! Someone, catch him for me."
The servants and thugs heard the sound and came over, and Mu Zhiyuan started fighting with everyone.
When the maid Xiaohe saw this, she pulled Xiao Huangying over and hid by the rockery to comfort her: "Girl, don't be afraid!"
Mu Zhiyuan kicked the servants and thugs away, leaving a message to Lin Wencai: "If you dare to rob a girl again, I will report it to the official and take over your shipping business!"
"How dare you threaten me? I'm not done with you!" Lin Wencai took a step forward, his butt hurt, and he sat on the ground again.
"Xiashi, Xiao Huangying is here!" The voice of the maid Xiao He came from the side of the rockery.
Mu Zhiyuan thanked Xiao He and left Lin Mansion with Xiao Huangying.
Sister Lin Qiaoer heard the sound and rushed to her brother's side: "Brother, why did you take a girl back to your house again? Aren't the ten beautiful concubines in your room enough?"
After speaking, he looked at Mu Zhiyuan's back and said, "It would be great if he could come to my study!"
Lin Wencai couldn't straighten up and staggered back to the study. When he saw his sister still standing there staring at Mu Zhiyuan, he cursed: "I only care about looking at your beautiful boy all day long, but I don't know how to help my brother get more concubines."
Lin Qiaoer came to her brother angrily: "Brother, do you have the nerve to say that shopkeeper Shu Xi gave up so quickly?"
Lin Wen was extremely angry when he thought about Lu Da throwing him into the pond to drink cold water that day.
"Who said I gave up? I asked around and found out that she has been in Lihua Town recently. I will bring her back tomorrow. When she is brought into the Lin Mansion, she will be tortured."
Mao Xi shivered and felt a chill on her back.
She has returned Liuxiang snacks and is preparing to eat to celebrate Zhemei and Wan Niang.
Xiaoqing came to the kitchen to help and secretly gossiped: "Shopkeeper, in addition to delivering river fresh food, Brother Yu has been coming to the shop too frequently recently. He and Miss Zhemei seem to have a special rapport."
Mao Xi has seen all this, and hopes that Sister Zhemei will meet someone who can treat her sincerely this time.
Brother Ying held a large pot of green plums and asked, "Sister Ah Shu, are these going to be made into green plum sauce?"
